Lecturers of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), on Tuesday, November 15, staged a peaceful protest against the treatment meted out by the Nigerian government, following the half payment of October salaries.

Some of the inscriptions on their placards read;

“Teachers Teach the Nation, but Ngige Cheats the Teachers”;

“ASUU to FG: Academia cannot be Casualised, Teaching is not a Casual Endeavour”; “Buhari Stop Ngige from Jeopardising the Future of Nigerian Students”,\

“Hold Anti-Poor Buhari Responsible for Wasted Eight Months”.
